I didn't think I would ever take the plunge but after many, many years of lusting and dreaming I have finally bought my very own Rolex Submariner.

Purchased today from Dom at Hackett Watches with delivery expected mid next week. It's going to be a long few days

Anyway...Here she is,









Chuffed.

Congratulations - looks a lovely piece.

It's very, very blue. Is that a quirk of digital photography or is it that bright IRL?

Depends on the light but it is pretty blue.

Here is a shot next to my BLNR to give you feel for the hue.

Is that a 'service' (i.e. later) dial?

[GoBig]

Excuse the crappy phone pic.

Slightly later dial yes , still has the 25>tz at the 6 oclock.

I still own my late Mums 1920's Art Deco gold Rolex watch. Been threatening my other half that we really should sell it and buy something to wear, like an omega or something. Wife hasn't ever worn the Rolex in the thirty years since Mums passing.

i don't reckon luck had very much to do with it... i know people tend to say this a lot but it always sounds odd to me.

I got this a little while back:

[benny.c]

My first Breitling - SuperOcean 42 (Limited Edition in orange). It's not quite as bright as it looks here…..

[Trustmeimadoctor]

It looks like a tequila sunrise

But I kind of like it

[benny.c]

It actually looks like this, but my iPhone seems to have applied some artistic licence….

It's my 40th birthday on the 18th of this month so I've treated myself to this

[Porsche911R]

Yes it is the black face and as you can see it also has the ceramic bezel, here is close up







PS The AP Royal Oak is a stunner!

Possibly the best Breathing I've seen yet; love it! But then I am partial to a bit of colour on watches...

Tomorrow sees the arrival of a Linde Werdelin Spidolite II, a bit of a left field choice especially as I've not seen one in the flesh but couldn't resist the forged carbon case.

[traffman]

Wow that is the latest Daytona , as from Baselworld? I am sure there is a waiting list the length of my arm for one.

and here it is, suspect not to everyone's taste
